Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Can I donate my 9 miles on Saturday for a little extra cushion?

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Okay guys I've got some really good news--the race directors posted the runner tracking system today.

 

Remember, I'm bib # 31.

Right on Toby, can't wait for the tracking thread to get started.  I pledge about 10 on Saturday morning.

Ha!  I guess I was expecting a sophisticated system that would automatically post times as you pass each chekpoint.





We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.
(Apologies to T. Rush and J. Tempchin, for the paraphrase)

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Since he'll be on trails some and will no doubt walk here and there (well, being Toby, maybe he won't walk!) can I pledge 14 miles of mountain hiking?  I can plant a "Toby" flag (biodegradable of course) on top of the mountain.





Chocolate is very nice.

It looks like the spreadsheet you guys made for the Country Music Marathon runners.  They copied your idea!

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

I have two 10K's this weekend, plus random warm-up/cool-down miles. Bare minimum, I'm good for a donation of 15 miles. Looks like you're just gonna have to run farther Toby!! Good luck # 31!

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Sorry I'm a little late getting on board this - just getting caught up.

 

Put me and my wife Andrea down for 10 each Saturday morning, with my in-laws in town we'll get to run together. 

 

And since the 100 miler is probably going to take Toby 20+ hours, I think my early Sunday morning 10 should count, too.  That's 30!

 

Hey, if we get over 200 miles pledged, does that mean that when Toby's done he has to turn around and run back to the start line???

Awesome way to look at it!

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Okay guys this is it I'm going to post a blog later on tonight from home if I can before my brother's flight gets in but I'm going to unplug after that. I just wanted to let you all know how much of a pleasure it is for me to interact with you on a daily basis. You are all so kind and considerate of one another and I really appreciate how you've included me. I hope that we all get the chance to meet in person one day like Jimmy and I did this past week. Your encouragement leading up to the race and your thoughts and good vibes this weekend will help me do what I once thought was impossible. I hope that in some shape or form I have helped some or just one of you reflect on your own impossible. I'll catch you guys on the other side! ~Toby
